As a family-friendly University on a green campus that is one of the loveliest in Germany,
we offer attractive working conditions. Magdeburg, the City on the Elbe and once an
imperial residence, has always appealed to creative minds from the sciences, culture and
politics. This is equally true of our second location: the Hanseatic town of Stendal, the
birthplace of Winckelmann and the capital of Brick Gothic.

following post in the Department of Water, Environment, Civil Engineering and Safety at
its Magdeburg site:

Water Management specialising in domestic water management.

With regard to teaching, the professorship is primarily involved in the Bachelor‘s and

A requirement of the post is a readiness to deliver courses in the English language, which

should also be capable of taking responsibility for the competent, practically-oriented
teaching of adjacent subject areas. Where applicable, it may be necessary to take over
teaching duties in other subjects / departments.
Alongside a strong commitment to teaching, active involvement in the acquisition of
third-party funding and interdisciplinary technical cooperation are also expected.
